Johnny Go Riding

The whole song is essentially just
E|E|-----|E|-----|----| 

Dsus2                          G
Johnny lets go out riding to a place
 outside of town
  Dsus2                    G
I go there every Sunday to watch the
 sun go down
        Dsus2                   
There's plenty of girls who know 
                   G
you, they've been asking where 
you've been
A                                 
Johnny don't dissapoint them, 
   G
they'd all like to see you again

Dsus2                         
Willy I don't think im ready to 
  G
leave this house of mine
Dsus2                        G
You go out and tell them I'm not the
 social kind
Dsus2                        G
Some men they are lovers and others 
the fighting type
    A                       G
And me I'm in the middle of choosing
 which one I'd like..... to be

Dsus2                   G
Judy she's out catching rides in 
passing cars
Dsus2                         
The memories of me and her have 
  G
burned out like the stars
Dsus2                   G
Me I'm not dissapointed knowing that
 she's free
A                                 
Somewhere down the line I knew 
   G
she'd one day up and leave

Dsus2                          G
Willy forget your troubles and lay 
back on the grass
        Dsus2                   
There's no need to get nostalgic 
 G
thinking about the past
       Dsus2                       
What's gone is gone, what's here is
            G
 now, she's standing by your fence
      A                        
She's wearing a beautiful party 
           G
dress and wanting you to dance..... 
hey hey.


E|-----| 

But the real flavour of the song is 
in all the little runs and 
hammer-ons,
a lot of the time the first strum of
 the Dsus2 hammers on as below:

e|--0----|    
B|--3----|    
G|--0h2--|    
D|--0----|    
A|E|-----|--| 
E|E|-----|--| 


and at the end of the G 
(particularly in the instrumental 
sections)
there's often a run down on the D 
string something like this:

e|E|E|-----|E|-----|----|---| 
B|E|E|-----|E|-----|----|---| 
G|E|E|-----|E|-----|----|---| 
D|--4-4-4-4-2-0-0--|          
A|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|          
E|E|E|-----|E|-----|----|---|
